'Don't call Chitrangada my muse'

“I don’t like these words. My name is not Maqbool Fida Husain. My name is Sudhir Mishra and I am a film director (not a painter who takes inspirations from a muse). I work with actors whom I am comfortable with and whom I really respect,” said Mishra, who had introduced the actress with Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi.

“And Chitrangada is a wonderful and outstanding actress. Whenever there is a part for her, I will always cast her. She has added a lot to my films Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and Yeh Saali Zindagi,” said the film-maker, whose next is Tera Kya Hoga Johnny.
